To join us for the remainder of this school year, please complete:
- one Family Form
- a Notification Form for each child you wish to home educate at this time
- a picture or scan of each child’s Canadian Birth Certificate (or proof of Canadian Citizenship)
- a draft of an Education Program Plan for each child (we will help you refine this in the weeks to come)
- a brief letter explaining your need to home educate at this time
Please upload documents to us via our secure document submitter.
What's next? Note: You may keep your child home from school during this process.
- Our team will review your application and contact you.
- Once your application has been accepted, we will contact your child's former school to let them know that your student is with us.
- We will send you a Provisional Acceptance letter.
- You will begin home educating, based on your draft education program plan.
- We will match your family with a home school facilitator.
- Your facilitator will help you finalize your plan and approve it.
- We will send an Official Acceptance letter to you.
The forms are fairly straightforward, though one common question on the Notification Form is regarding the Declaration by Parent (Part B), and the two checkboxes below. If you check the first box, you indicate that you will be using Alberta Curriculum at home, fulfilling all of the same outcomes as you would in school. The second option (most used by home educators) means that you will be creating your own plan for your child, using curriculum that suits your goals and your child's learning style. You may view the Schedule of Learning Outcomes here.
We are here to help you! Give us a call and, during business hours, one of our Home School Consultants will assist you with this process, answer any questions you may have and help you get your notification submitted.
Note: Prior to the funding deadline each year, we encourage enrollments via our Parent Portal. After the funding deadline, we close the portal for digital notification, and utilize the process above.
